Carlo Acutis to be canonized Sept. 7 with Pier Giorgio Frassati
He is remembered for saying, “People who place themselves before the sun get a tan; people who place themselves before the Eucharist become saints.” Shortly before his death, Acutis offered his suffering from cancer “for the pope and for the Church” and expressed a desire to go “straight to heaven.” Known as a cheerful and kind child with a love for animals, video games, and technology, Acutis’ life has inspired documentaries, digital evangelization projects, and the founding of schools in his name. Pier Giorgio Frassati: ‘To the heights’ of holiness Frassati, who died at the age of 24 in 1925, is also beloved by many today for his enthusiastic witness to holiness that reaches “to the heights.” The young man from the northern Italian city of Turin was an avid mountaineer and Third Order Dominican known for his charitable outreach. During Friday’s consistory, the College of Cardinals approved the upcoming canonizations of seven other blesseds, including Bartolo Longo, José Gregorio Hernández, Peter To Rot, Vincenza Maria Poloni, Ignazio Choukrallah Maloyan, María del Monte Carmelo Rendiles Martínez, and Maria Troncatti, who will be canonized together on Oct.

‘Let truth takes its course’: CBCP head urges Senate to uphold impeachment duty
The head of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines on Tuesday urged the Senate to fulfill its constitutional responsibility in addressing the impeachment complaints filed against Vice President Sara Duterte. He stressed that the Church’s call does not come from partisan interest but is rooted in Catholic social teaching, which upholds truth, justice, and the common good. “But when it is guided by conscience and the common good, it becomes a noble service.” On Monday, Senate President Francis Escudero took his oath as presiding officer of the Senate impeachment court in anticipation of Duterte’s trial.
